Description
Sets whether to show custom function and calculation tools.If enabled, we show execute and check syntax buttons in the dialog to edit custom functions. Also for calculation dialogs in various places in FileMaker Pro.
You can check syntax and run the current calculation.
For custom functions, you can define a test case, you can put a command line with /// in front and an assignment for the parameter.
e.g. if you have parameters firstName and age, you can add two lines on top of calculation:
/// firstName = "Hello"
/// age = 35
The plugin will check all lines for beginning with /// a variable name and an equal character. Any text following is used in evaluate to set the local variable.
This allows you to define a test case with test values to run. Please make sure you don't cause endless loops!
Examples
Enable it:
MBS( "SyntaxColoring.SetCustomFunctionToolsEnabled"; 1 )
